Wet Day at Latham

On the way to school yesterday, too wet for a walk. So drive by birding. Thought I'd see who was around at Lower Latham.

The general avian mood of the day.

Sparrows aren't generally who I think of as Latham

residents, but they were plentiful yesterday!

The Clint Eastwood Sparrow.

and one for my artsy silhouetteish group.

some very hunkered-down Phalaropes

and on my second drive by, a prize: the FOS Black-necked Stilt.

Also at Latham today: a pair of Avocet (Beebee Draw) FOS Western Kingbird, Cinnamon Teal, Gadwall (I think) Yellow-headed Blackbirds, FOS Ibis, and probably lots of quietly hiding from

the rain things. Oh, and one muskrat.
